don't give up and give up your dream.It's better to have tried and failed than never have tried at all. It is hard to get a start on farming. Lets face it. The profit margin in farming is low, the hrs are long, but we do it because we love it. My friends and family never supported me wanting to farm. I didn't listen. I have been down the road you are on. I can only make suggestion on how I did it. I starrted out using the guy I farmed fors equip in return for helping him. I still had and do have a 40 hr week job. I hit up everybody I knew that had ground. and looked for ground a bigger farmer didn't want. I share crop that way the landlord bears some of the burden.I use farm credit services and small local credit unions for $. then finally after a couple years I bought a 67 4020 and a 6 row deere with splitters. Limit the equipment at first to just what you have to have.Have sopme one custom harvest until you can afford to have an older machine. Any money you make put back in the farm. Learn all you can about being a good buisness man and farmer. Because you are both. It takes time and patients to start from nothing. It can be done though. So hang in there.
